Noise control from Skov Industri is for those who want Danish-developed solutions that work in everyday operations. We support industry, offices, and laboratories with noise reduction, sound insulation, and sound attenuation, improving the working environment and ensuring stable operations.
With in-house production in Denmark and our own installation teams, you get a complete process from the initial assessment to final installation. Our approach is straightforward: we address noise at the source, and we integrate the function of the solution into your daily operations.
As a full-service supplier of noise control for industry, we bring everything together with one partner, from measurement and consultancy to construction, production, installation, and subsequent service. You receive a unified timeline, a responsible project manager, and a solution designed for your production from the outset.
Our approach is practical. We review equipment, workflows, access conditions, and safety, and we align expectations for noise reduction, sound attenuation, and sound insulation before any work begins. With production based in Denmark, we can respond quickly, adjust details, and ensure efficient installation. This results in shorter downtime and better alignment between design and reality.

Skov Industri is both a supplier and problem-solver within noise control and sound insulation of production facilities, machines, and robots. As specialists in noise control, we support companies with acoustic regulation, ceiling sound attenuation, and noise control for offices and production halls.
The most effective noise reduction begins at the source. Therefore, we work systematically with machine enclosures (also known as acoustic enclosures), noise containment, and partition wall solutions around machines, robots, and production systems when noise levels become too high in daily operations. In many companies, it is the sound from a few noisy units that raises the overall noise level throughout the hall. By reducing noise where it originates, you achieve a more stable and noticeable result than with isolated measures further away.
A well-designed machine enclosure can provide significant noise attenuation without affecting capacity. We build solutions adapted to operations, meaning enclosures can be equipped with doors, windows, inspection hatches, and gates, ensuring that service, cleaning, and access remain straightforward. At the same time, we consider heat, extraction, and fire safety, so sound insulation does not negatively impact production during installation or maintenance.
If full enclosure is not possible, we work with partial shielding solutions, such as partition walls, noise barriers, or defined work zones that move employees away from the noise source. This allows for effective noise reduction in practice without rebuilding the entire production setup. The key is that the solution is planned based on the noise source, distances, and workflows.
When discussing workplace noise, two key levels are typically used: 80 dB(A) as the action level and 85 dB(A) as the upper limit for daily exposure over an 8-hour working day. If noise levels are at or above 85 dB(A), noise control measures must be implemented. The goal is to protect employees’ hearing and ensure a working environment where communication and safety are maintained.

Noise can be harmful long before it feels “severe”. Already at 80 dB(A), employers must typically provide hearing protection, and at 85 dB(A), hearing protection is generally required, while noise must be reduced if technically possible. The most effective reduction is usually achieved at the source, for example through machine enclosures and noise containment around machines, robots, and systems. This prevents noise from spreading throughout the entire hall.
Regulations are based on the Danish Working Environment Authority’s requirements that noise must be reduced as much as possible, and that companies should implement technical solutions where feasible. In practice, this often means a combination of noise control, proper system design, and solutions such as partition walls, noise barriers, acoustic regulation, and enclosure of noise sources. A good starting point is measurement and evaluation of noise data to ensure targeted action.
Start at the source with enclosures or shielding close to the process. Then supplement with acoustic regulation in the room to reduce reverberation and sound propagation.
Sound attenuation absorbs sound within a space and reduces reverberation. Sound insulation limits how much sound passes through walls and structures.
Yes. With modular systems, panels can be moved, expanded, and adapted as production changes, without starting from scratch.
Ventilation and cooling are often hidden noise sources. We design noise attenuation and sound insulation around extraction systems, air supply, pumps, and compressors, ensuring reduced noise without compromising airflow or service access.
Solutions may include enclosure of units, acoustic barriers around cooling systems, or combined solutions where noise reduction and accessibility go hand in hand. We select suitable absorbing materials and ensure components can be cleaned and maintained. Often, small adjustments here can deliver significant noise reduction. Installation is planned to minimize operational disruption. The result is lower noise levels around technical installations and more comfortable working environments nearby.
Enclosing production systems, machines, and robots is often one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to achieve noticeable noise reduction. When noise is enclosed, sound levels drop, and the rest of the hall becomes a more workable environment for communication and daily tasks.
At Skov Industri, we have many years of experience with machine enclosures and acoustic housing of noisy systems. We have installed a large number of solutions across industries, from full production line enclosures to individual machines, robots, ventilation systems, pumps, and technical installations. This experience makes a practical difference, as we know where enclosures must be tight, where access is required, and which details typically cause problems if not considered from the start.
Since 1976, we have offered our modular MATADOR noise control system, manufactured and powder-coated at our factory on Funen. The system is designed to be flexible, allowing enclosures and shielding to be adapted, relocated, and rebuilt as production evolves. The unique clip system ensures that solutions can be reused 100% when modifying noise and machine enclosures.
To ensure functionality in daily operations, enclosures can be equipped with a comprehensive range of accessories such as doors, airlocks, and gates, ensuring that service and operation remain practical. The powder-coated surface is easy to clean, which is a clear advantage in many production environments. All products are tested at recognized institutes, and the well-designed construction allows for fast and efficient installation, minimizing downtime and operational losses.

Large spaces create large challenges. In production halls, sound accumulates, increasing overall noise levels even when individual machines are not extremely noisy. We combine noise control in production halls with acoustic regulation using ceiling and wall absorbers, partitions along walkways, and sound insulation around the noisiest processes.
The goal is not only lower noise levels but also shorter reverberation time and improved speech clarity. This makes instructions clearer, alarms easier to hear, and communication between colleagues more natural. We base our solutions on Danish Working Environment Authority requirements and propose solutions that can be expanded in stages if production changes. In short, a quieter and safer working environment.
When operations change, noise control must follow. Therefore, we build enclosures and partition walls as modular systems that can be adapted to new layouts and machinery. Panels, doors, windows, and gates can be relocated, expanded, or reused, ensuring the investment continues to deliver value as production evolves.
Combined with tight joints and proven materials, this provides effective sound insulation without compromising usability. Surfaces are easy to clean, and details such as cable penetrations, conveyors, and robotic arms are integrated so that noise control and logistics work together.
If mobile solutions are needed, we can supply movable units that reduce noise where the task is performed.
Noise should not be addressed by guesswork. We often begin with measurements in collaboration with external experts, assess sources, and define realistic noise reduction targets based on applicable limits and regulatory practices.
We also describe how solutions affect access conditions and operations, and components are selected based on testing and practical experience. This ensures confidence in decisions, control over costs, and a solution that works and can be clearly explained. Transparency is key, so you understand both strengths and limitations before proceeding.
The best balance between cost and performance is often achieved by combining standard components with project-specific elements. We use proven panels, partitions, and absorbers where appropriate, and supplement with custom solutions when machinery, robots, or building conditions require it.
This may include enclosures with specific inspection points, extra sound-insulated sections around gear systems, or enclosures adapted to conveyor geometries. By designing intelligently, we achieve high noise reduction without excessive material use or installation complexity.
As production evolves, standard components can often be reused, preserving your investment. A practical approach that works both on paper and in operation.

We work across environments, from fully automated production to open office spaces and laboratories. In industry, machine enclosures and targeted noise containment are often key, while offices and educational environments are typically improved through acoustic regulation on ceilings and walls.
In laboratories and controlled environments, we combine noise attenuation with hygiene requirements and easy-to-clean surfaces. If needed, we can also support related areas such as shelving and storage solutions. Regardless of the environment, we focus on working conditions, efficient operations, and clear communication, ensuring everyone understands how the solution impacts daily work. We cannot promise silence, but significantly fewer decibels and improved clarity.
When delivering noise control solutions, we base them on your exact needs. This may include full floor-to-ceiling enclosure of production systems with doors, windows, and gates, ensuring easy access for operation, service, and cleaning.
We also work with enclosures of individual machines, integrating acoustic regulation into the construction so noise is reduced effectively without becoming a bottleneck for production.
Our MATADOR solutions cover the entire process: consultancy, measurement, design, manufacturing, and installation. The combination of theoretical knowledge and many years of practical experience forms the foundation for solutions that are both targeted and realistic.
Typical tasks include noise reduction of production systems, sound reduction of machines and robots, sectioning and acoustic treatment of production areas with full-height walls, sound-insulating partitions and screens, office noise control with fixed or mobile barriers, and “room-in-room” solutions for offices, laboratories, and storage. We also handle room acoustics where reverberation needs to be reduced.
